Release Notes: January, 2013

WARNINGS

The nSANity data collector cannot use Manage ONTAP API with storage controllers
running Data ONTAP 7.3.1 or 7.3.1P1 due to a possible panic condition. nSANity
will safely perform a version check of the storage controller and disable
Manage ONTAP API usage for these releases. The Manage ONTAP API issue is 
addressed in Data ONTAP 7.3.1P2.
